15870. Adulteration and misbranding of alimentary paste. IT. S. v. 11 
Boxes of Alimentary Paste. Default decree of condemnation, for- 
feiture, and destruction. (F. & D; No. 21172. I. S. No. 13401-x. S. No. 
E-5804.)
On July 15, 1926, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and con- 
demnation of 11 boxes of alimentary paste at Jersey City, N. J., alleging that 
the article had been shipped by the Atlantic Macaroni Co., Long Island City, 
N. Y., on or about May 5, 1926, and had been transported from the State of New 
York into the State of New Jersey, and charging adulteration and misbranding 
in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: 
"Bologna Style Tagliatelle Finissimo 20 Lbs. Net Artificially Colored."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it was 
colored in a manner whereby inferiority was concealed, due to a deficiency 
in or total lack of egg.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was an imitation of 
another article, and in that the statement, " 20 Lbs. Net," was false and mis- 
leading and deceived and misled the purchaser.
On July 9, 1928, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
